Obituary for NEHER


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Sunday December 23, 2012

NEHER, KENNETH G. passed away on December 15, 2012. He was born to Charles and Viola Neher on January 20,1943 in Pagosa Springs, CO and married Linda Gillette on August 30, 1962. Ken joined the navy in 1960 and served for 4 years. He later became an Albuquerque police officer, retiring from the force in 1983. Linda and Ken celebrated their 50th anniversary in August. The two were inseparable, and so it is not too surprising that after her sudden death on November 28, 2012, Ken shortly followed. He will be missed. Ken is survived by sons Ron Neher and his wife Chris of Austin, TX and Cory Neher and fiancee Tammy Simmons of Edgewood, grandchildren Mallory and Grace Neher of Austin, TX and Jacob and Hannah Neher of Marion, IA and cousins Mae and George Morely and Bob Clark of Hesperus, CO. Ken was preceded in death by his wife, Linda Neher and his daughter, Jamie Neher. The family will memorialize both Ken and Linda in the Spring by scattering their ashes together at Molas Lake, CO, per their wishes.
